Every place I went Sunday — the corner coffee shop, church, the place I got breakfast, UD Arena — I was asked the same question: “What’s the deal with Brian Gregory — is he staying or leaving?”

While the Dayton Flyers coach is being cagey with his comments these days, my guess is he will leave if he gets a decent offer.

Although three sports outlets (FoxSports.com, Comcast Sports Southeast and SportsbyBrooks.com) reported last week he had been offered a contract by Georgia Tech — and another is saying he did interview there — the school said its search is ongoing.

Regardless, there are several vacancies out there now and when coaches start hop-scotching from job to job, I think Gregory may well join that changing tide. He told our Doug Harris he has been contacted by some schools.

I know he publicly says he likes it here and is committed to this place and I believe some of that. I also know he makes good money — said to be approaching $1 million annually when everything is added up — and that his family is intertwined in the community fabric.

But from talking to him as the season wore down and talking to someone else close to the situation, I think he’s open to leaving for a few reasons:

• I believe he feels he can’t bring in the same academically at-risk players that some Atlantic 10 front-runners can and because of that he can’t compete with those schools on a year-after-year basis. While that may sound like an excuse to some — especially those who say the Flyers’ problems in league play are based on his predictable offense — I think there is some validity to it.

• Although he’s under contract until 2018, Gregory’s sights almost certainly are set beyond here. But to stay on the radar of the power conferences, you’d better be making noticeable waves in Dayton.

Gregory has done some of that in the past, but there could be a drop off next season. The team will have to break in a new point guard to replace Juwan Staten. It will be without top scorer and rebounder Chris Wright. And it’s going to have to find a formidable post presence from a couple of candidates whose resumes have been sketchy up to now.

Instead of 22 wins like this year, the team could be looking at 16 or 17, so Gregory’s star would be brighter now than in a year or two.

• A lot of fans have been on his case this season. It’s the most grumbling I’ve heard here since Jim O’Brien’s last two miserable seasons. If folks are that upset about 22 wins or the 25 last year — both of which brought NIT bids — how will they react if the Flyers miss the NCAA Tournament again?

And what if a couple of those grumblers include some of that select number of big-time boosters who reportedly pledged annual five-figure donations to help escalate the basketball coach’s salary?

Gregory and his family live here and though he says he pays no attention to the grousing — that every coach deals with it — he and his wife are human and the blowback has to bother them.

Like I said, I think Gregory will leave if a decent offer comes.
